On AI Therapy Apps

In my capacity as Prinicipal Consultant at Grand West, I wrote about AI-powered therapy tools and apps for news.com.au – one of the top news websites in Australia. Mainly because I was interested in a) the increased use of ChatGPT as a therapy tool, b) the increasing number of automated therapy apps on the market and, more importantly, c) if the user feels cared for by these tools, does it matter that the human element is missing?

Big thanks to Sally-Anne McCormack (ANTSA) and Professor Nick Titov (Mindspot) for contributing their expert opinions to the story. Sally-Anne and Nick are doing amazing things in their fields – I really respect their efforts and thoroughly appreciate them taking time out to chat with little old me.

And thanks to Jasmine at news.com.au for giving the story a run, it was a pleasure to have an excuse to write the thing.
